From the property you can boat and kayak or use any type of non-motorized water vessel, you can wade in the shoreline water where you can still see your feet, you can catch-and-release fish and enjoy the scenery. The community maintains this beach/swimming area very nicely and can be enjoyed with beach chairs (provided in the box by the hot tub), picnic blanket, sand toys and swimming. You may use the area already portioned off for swimming with their floating dock to jump right in! Go make a splash! Also at the beach is a pool, café, playground, tennis courts, basketball courts and baseball field.

Community has 4 Outdoor Pools which are open weekends only from Memorial day to late June and Mid August to Labor day. Pools open daily from mid-June to mid-August. Located within a 5 minute drive to the new K Pool built in 2022. Splash pad for the little ones and a large pool for the family to enjoy. There is also a bathhouse, tennis and basket courts and a playground.

We make no guarantees that community amenities will be available during your stay. The availability of the amenities and the days and hours of operation are at the discretion of the association. Hours and days of operation are typically provided at the beginning of each week. Refunds will not be provided if community amenities are not available as we have no control over closures for any circumstances such as, but not limited to, weather, staffing, Covid, etc.

We do our very best to maintain the property with regular pest control, but due to the surroundings, if doors are left open, or food is left outside the house, critter curiosity is inevitable. Please keep doors closed, the outdoors clean and notify us personally if you have any visitors in this regard so we can address the issue promptly.

We really enjoyed our vacation at this lake house. The owners are easy to communicate with and they provide so many amenities to use during your stay. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards, we cooked on the grill, the kitchen had everything you need to cook meals, the kids and adults enjoyed the basement with the pool table, air hockey table, basketball and video games and the sandy beach and dock were awesome. The wildlife was amazing too. We saw geese, ducks and deer close up since they are very tame and always looking for a snack! Such a beautiful home and a wonderful vacation!

The house was awesome and Jen was a great host. She literally thought of everything you could need. It was beyond our expectations. She had something there for everyone from my 1 yr old grandchild to our age. I would highly recommend and would definitely go back in the future.

We had a great friends/family getaway. The house was plenty big for all of us. The view from the deck was amazing, the fishing was great and the deer a treat for all of us. The game room and games were a big hit. Jennifer was quick to respond when we needed her. The only thing we noticed was that house need a little more of a thorough cleaning, this is why we gave it a three. But all in all a great place and a great time had by all.

Our group of 3 families with 7 kids between us had an amazing long weekend at Longfellow Lodge. They thought of absolutely everything! The game room and multiple smart tv's were perfect for the rainy day, and the lake and watercraft, plus the fire pit and hot tub, kept everyone occupied with fun all day long when the weather cleared up. The views of the lake were beautiful. The house was clean. The beds were all very comfortable. The check-in/check-out process was easy and the communication from the owner was exceptional. We had zero issues during our stay, but know we would have heard back immediately if we had needed to reach out. There are other amenities in the community, but we didn't really leave the house because we had everything we needed right there. We all agreed that we would love to come back in the future. Highly recommend!

We had a family of 13 and this house worked well for us with the exception of a few things. There were some damaged /broken things. We specifically picked this house for the bedroom layout and that was changed before we arrived. An unfortunate circumstance. The house is a little dated, but for the most part fairly decent. The view is amazing. I wouldn't call the neighborhood a vacation neighborhood. The amenities we went to were ok. But the house suited us well. We would stay with the owners again. They responded very quickly.

This vacation included a group of 3 families - ages from 4-45. In summary- we will without a doubt rent this home from Jen again. Obviously it has been stated in multiple reviews about updates/renovations. This was well known prior to us renting -so I would not hold anything against the owners. Sure, the basement needs to be finished - and when it is, that will be such an incredible space. Also- it has been said in many reviews we saw about the kitchen. Sure, it could use updating. Again, we knew this ahead of renting - so I would not negatively write about this or hold this against the owner. This exceeded our expectations- to get more specific, outback. The space out back - including the “beach” area, sitting area, and dock - was much larger than we expected from pics. We had a blast. We never left the house at all. We had teenagers who typically spend lots of time playing on XBOX.We had a large projector set up in the basement for them to play -they never played- the entire week. We had the 2 canoes that came with the property -and also rented a paddle board and tandigm kayak. This was incredible - the kids hung out in the lake from after breakfast until just after dinner. It was perfect! We honestly thought we would have a great time - but this was even better than we all anticipated! We all had a blast. The kids loved the hot tub (of course keeping the temperature low). We spent 95% of our time outside, or up on the large deck off the kitchen/living room. The space in the house was perfect. We had plenty of space -& when we all sat in one night watching TV, amazingly we all fit! The TV was awesome- of course how could a 75” not be. We were so comfortable the entire stay. Honestly, we just can’t say enough about our vacation. The weather was perfect, outside was more than awesome. The kids spent all their time in the lake. The adults had a great time sitting around the fire , or using the canoes. We also brought up a dozen large floats with large amounts of rope. We tied up all our floats, &just laid in floats! This was incredible. Incredible! Jen- you were so responsive and easy to reach ,you got back to us immediately for any of our needs. Thank you. The only negatives - trash and recycling were overflowing upon our arrival. Recycling is every 2 weeks, so of course you can see how that backs up. The kitchen and basement need updating . Great rental and owners - we will be coming back!!

The house was a great layout for our family of 7 adults and 3 children. The rec room was set up to be enjoyed by all. Our personal favorite was the outside beach area, fire pit with great furniture and a variety of water craft boats. Our host was accomodating and extremely responsive. Fun times!

We very much enjoyed our stay. The home is decorated tastefully. It is spacious and designed to make your stay pleasant and easy. There are signs all over that give you helpful instructions. The view is beautiful, the back porch lovely, and the game room downstairs offers lots of fun for multiple ages. The hot tub, fire pit, bench swing, and boats add to opportunities for spending quality time together. The house manger was reachable by text and replied to my questions very quickly and was friendly and helpful! We were two brothers with their families, including 2 young grandchildren and had an absolutely lovely time! I would like to mention one or two small points that I think I'd like to have known. In order to check in, you need to stop at a check in center about a 6 minute drive from the actual home. At popular times, you may need to wait in line for 10-15 minutes to check in, and the check in process takes about 5 minutes. So, when calculating what time you want to arrive at the home keep in mind that it could be about a half hour process until you are actually there. Also, Shampoo is not provided so bring your own. And one last thing, there are quite a few instructions for checking out, including washing towels used, taking out the trash from all the trash cans in each room, sweeping out the fire place if used. I always leave rental homes neat, but doing all this when paying a $250 cleaning fee for 2 days seemed a big excessive to me. Overall, it was awesome! And we'd love to return again!

Our family loved staying here! It was very clean and spacious with a large dining table & living room that allowed for family dinners and game nights. The kids enjoyed all of the games in the basement & the hot tub is right out the back door. Jen’s instructions were easy to follow and when we had a question during our stay she responded immediately. Since we came during the winter we weren’t able to use the lake but we did ski at Jack Frost and snow tube at Camelback, each mountain was easy to access, about 30min away. The community is strict about cars coming in and out but Jen made it easy to pre-register each vehicle & we had no problem. We definitely hope to come back for another family trip in the future!

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here. The beds were very comfortable. The view was amazing. There was lots of room for the 9 of use to enjoy from the large seating area in the living room, to all of us able to dine together at the kitchen table, and hang out in the basement. Jen was very responsive to any issues we had or questions we had. We would certainly visit again!

This was are second year here with 8 kids ranging from 4-7. The owner really puts a lot of thought into activities for families. The basement room has many fun games for all ages. The added kayaks and paddle boards were a huge plus!. The kids played outside from morning till night and never asked once for an Ipad!! Everyone had a chance to catch several fish. We will be back next year. Renovations to the kitchen and baths were great!

The property had everything we needed for the week. The younger kids loved fishing off the dock and the older kids and adults loved the canoes. The hot tub was perfect at night as the sun set over the lake. The video games, pool table and air hockey were great for the rainy afternoons. The house was very clean and the owner was very easy to get in touch with.

My husband and I took our two daughters, their spouses and 4 grandchildren to Jen's mountain home. We had a wonderful time. Jen thought of everything. The kitchen was well stocked and the game room was definitely a plus. There were more than enough toys for all the kids to enjoy. We sat around the firepit and night waiting for our nightly visits from the forest creatures. We had deer and fox visit us while we sat by the fire. Jen was wonderful to work with and was quick to respond to any queries. Everyone raved at what a great and relaxing vacation we had. Joyce

It was a very nice cabin. the registration office was a nightmare. We stood in a long line waiting to register. Then when we got to the gate and there were cars backed up to the road. Seemed like a good place for an accident. The bath tub was very slipperly. I am somewhat handicapped and there should have been a mat that doesn't slip around. I thought I was going to fall. It was like ice skating. And I am not at good at that also. Also the roof was leaking. We called Jen but no one every came out to look at it. Other than that, we loved the cabin. Hope to use it again some day. We like to move around and see different scenery. Thank you again.
